Time is short and life is sweet
No time for errors to ever repeat
Tears flow for joy
Pour out for sorrow
You just never know
What’s coming tomorrow
But the sun will rise
The sun will set
And it’s not over yet
When it’s all over
It’s over
It’s all said and done
Did you stand up and fight
Or just turn tail and run
Were you truthful and faithful
In the smallest of things
Did you do what you could
For the frailest of these
And love is a garden of the will
Limbs must be pruned
And soil must be tilled
Compare it to gold
With an end to be pure
Think of the flame it must endure.
But the sun will rise
The sun will set
And it’s not over yet
Autumn leaves fall on the ground
You’ve got to sweep them away
